Mother Nature as Medicine: How Forests, Fungi & Water Can Restore Your Wellbeing – #012
As Mother’s Day approaches, we’re reminded of the power of care, connection, and nurturing – qualities we often associate with the women who’ve raised us.

Are You Just Burnt Out– Or Could it Be Low Iron? – #011
As we gradually make our way out of the dark and dreary winter months, many of us may feel exhausted and drained by the daily rise and grind of work.

While you might be writing these feelings off as burnout or the winter blues, these nonspecific symptoms could be a sign of low iron. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, the component of our blood that carries oxygen from our lungs to our cells. If iron stores are low, the body may not be receiving optimal oxygenation, leaving you feeling fatigued, cold, or dizzy and lightheaded.
